TXTTNSun, 06 Feb 2011 19:38:10 +0000http://blogs.tennessean.com/titans/?p=12565#comment-19858Ya I think we are on the same page. I have been very vocal in my critcism of Fisher once I started looking at the numbers and especially the years he wasted with McNair in his prime and the consistently poor performance of the defense (the standout years were the exception – we were excellent a few years, and terrible most others). He was a great face for the franchise and I think for most of his run with the Titans he was a great leader. But I think he started to develop and ego and had too much power towards the end of his term – I think that led to some loss of his ability to lead the team.
I’d also only buy Munchak if he is big shift from Fisher’s style – the one thing I like from the little I know is that he appears not to have a large ego and doesn;t appear to need to be in the spotlight. I think he can command respect based on his playing career. But we’ll just have to wait and see. I’d be open to Fewell or Mularkey at this point as well – I’m glad we at least went out and interviewed some of the better candidates out there.

gRiceSun, 06 Feb 2011 16:16:48 +0000http://blogs.tennessean.com/titans/?p=12565#comment-19850I’m also betting that Munch is the choice. I also agree that who he brings in as his coordinators will be very important to future success. I have to believe that Munch will have his own philosophy and NOT just be a Fisher clone. As a fan, I hoping for the best. Who are some of the QB candidates you guys are hoping for? I was thinking Matt Leinart could be an option if put in the right system and he’s a free agent. Getting Leinart wouldn’t require giving up a draft pick. Just throwing that out there…luv to hear other opinions on this.

I don’t have a problem at all with Munchak and I guess waiting to see who his staff would be is all we could do. He would no doubt be a good hire as he seems to have those qualities necessary to lead and manage. I just hope if he gets the job that he has philosophical differences from what Fisher had. I have always been a huge Fisher fan but not because of his x’s and o’s philosophy. I completely disagree with his close to the vest, conservative style of play. I do however admire how he manages his people and how he always sticks up for his people in the public eye. He never throws anyone under the bus and the people around him really respect him for that. The way he handled the transition from Houston to Memphis to Nashville was borderline unprecedented. But he needed to turn over the offense to someone who was able to adapt to the trend of the NFL being a passing league. In my opinion, Jeff Fisher is a very overrated football coach as a whole. People who really follow this team has perspective on him. People on a national level see a well liked guy that has been around a long time and assume he is a great coach. He’s a great manager of people.

My big question with Munchak is who are his coordinators? To me, that really will define him as a head coach – he would lean heavily on his coordinators to set the style of play. So I could see a scenario where we had drastic changes in the message and style under Munchak – it all depends who he planned on bringing in. I’m sure that came up int he interview – unfortunately, as fans, we just have to sit in the dark and hope the best decision is made for the right reasons.

TPSat, 05 Feb 2011 17:15:55 +0000http://blogs.tennessean.com/titans/?p=12565#comment-19821I’ve said this from the beginning, I think Munchak most time would be a good hire for HC, but not in this case. Its as much about the fit as it is the person and after 16+ years of the same regime, its high time to change the message at BSP. Mularkey is the guy for this job in my opinion. The NFL is more about the passing game than ever and the Titans need an offensive mindset for once. They have huge questions at the most important position on the field and Mularkey has proven to be a guy to develop that area. My proposal is to promise Munchak the offensive coordinator spot after Heimerdinger’s contract is up next year and get Munchak involved more in the offense now. Its time for a change. Fisher was stubborn for years and it led to a bunch of mediocrity. It got very stale around BSP and keeping things within will only produce minimal changes. This franchise needs more than a few tweaks.
